Just wanted to share

Wow kids are sleeping in this morning I have a chance to wright another thread. This week my wife is a huge fan of facebook and she interacts and knows everyone's business. About fifteen or twenty years ago her co-worker went home early form work and found her husband totally dressed, without an explanation she left him.
At the time I knew them well because I helped them out with there home renovation and he was a great guy, because he worked from home he did everything for her. He would clean the house and cook and just all around great attitude and treated her like a princess.
At the time my wife tried to convince her to at least hear him out and give him a chance, she said she wasn't going to embarrass him and my wife was the only one who knew but said she wanted nothing to do with him because she wanted a real man next to her, a strong father not a sissy and wasn't willing to live and deal with his mental issues.
My wife wanted so bad to tell her about me and my dressing and how she can use this to her advantage and that it really isn't that bad and kind of fun and interesting, if you can both reach a compromising agreement.
She decided she didn't trust her with it and her co-worker devorced him.
This week my wife was talking to some old friends on facebook and asked whatever happened to her co-worker friend ( sorry I don't want to mention any real names, you never know) she found out since then she's had a few husbands, one abusive and another cheated on her and kids with different husbands.
Everyone asking whatever happened with her first husband, I have to give her credit she never did tell anyone except my wife as far as we know.
My wife didn't want to be cruel but did say she derserved what she got, she had a great man and choose to be selfish and didn't even give him a chance to defend himself and she thanked God that she wasn't like her friend and gave me a chance because she would have missed thirty plus happy years of marriage, beautiful children.
Well it looks like her friend liked the tough, mucho guy that she got and I did explain we are all different and I would love to find out what happened to him. Maybe he's here.Lol
I thought I had to share, because I wish some of the nonaccepting GG here can see "the grass isn't always greener on the other side".

I try to let my wife know everyday how appreciative I am of her acceptance, and how much she supports me. It's not just been a journey for me these past few years out to her, it's been a journey together. She wouldn't have it any other way.

Maria, Great story. With regards to your wife's friend, Karma is a bitch.

Wow Samm I love your explanation, it is beautiful, especially describing it as a journey as it is. Thanks

Thanks for sharing. The story really drives home the fact some women will just toss the husband out the door. It does not matter what his positive attributes may be. He's gone. On the block we live on many years ago (decades) a young couple had all these plans. Fortunately, when she found out he wore women's clothing they had not yet started their family. He got the boot. Every time I pass that house down the block I think of them. I also pass the corner lot where they planned to build their dream home. The wife of the couple was a coworker of my wife's cousin. I heard the buzzing gossip when my wife and her cousin talked. Once when my wife and I had a discussion as to my cross dressing I asked her if she remembered her conversation with her cousin about the cross dresser and his wife. Nope. She did not remember anything at all. I told her just hearing the conversation was enough reason not to bring my cross dressing up. I suspect my wife may have confided with her cousin.

I don't know if the woman in your story deserved who she ended up marrying, but, I hope she changed her mind about her sweet husband. However, I suspect she still blames him for her ills because, "if" he wasn't a cross dresser none of the bad relationships would have happened.

I read a story a few years ago, A crossdresser is on a very high hotel room balcony getting ready to jump, because he had lost all contact to his children just that day in court. His wife had brought out to the world all about his crossdressing and the court ruled in her favor. Across town his ex wife is touching up her makeup to cover her blackeye, telling herself she deserved getting beaten by her current boyfriend for talking back. But at least he is a real man and not some pervert. Her ex was always so attentive to her needs and those of their children, but then he was soft and gentle like a woman. But she needed a real man.
It seems some women have trouble accepting a softer, gentler man. But prefer an abusive, hard feeling real man. Like some men prefer being bossed around by a woman rather than having an equal partner, or as in my case my best friend.

Welcome to the Karma Restaurant. There's no menu - you get what you deserve.

More GGs would rather have a man that beats her than a crossdresser. I wish I could say that I was just being dramatic in saying that, but it is sadly really true.

GGs keep your macho man all for you.
You are very lucky you have an amazing wife.Awwww Karma ...

So many of us preach this every day to those in relationships. It's difficult to do it alone but it's even more difficult to do it in isolation while in a relationship. Maria's story illustrates one of the many possible outcomes when we don't try to accept, understand and support the other half of a marriage. Samm and bride, you seem to be on the high road and I wish you the best as you travel on.

Thank you Sarah. It's been a long road. I have 2 ex's I could never have shared this side of me with.
